ns available from within this forum. This web page is also scraped as the source of data for the "Plugin Updater" to assist with keeping users up to date.

Notes for Plugin Developers:

Spoiler:

When you create a new plugin, PM an active calibre moderator to have it included in this list. Note that you must send us all of the information necessary to create the index entry in particular if it is a new plugin. The easiest way is to copy one of the entries below and substitute in all the values as appropriate. Read the following information for more details on what they mean.

It would also make less work for us if you include all other information required to be changed or added as per the plugins below.

Ensure the plugin file is attached to the first post of your thread, and that it has a .zip extension. Do not attach multiple zip files to that post, or there is a risk of automated installation failure.

To add version history to your post, place a heading containing the exact text of Version History followed by a SPOILER containing your actual version history text. You can nest the spoiler tag within an INDENT tag if you wish.

Notes for Forum Admins:

Spoiler:

As the data is scraped from this page, formatting and content of the list items is critical. Do not add new LIST elements to this page unless they contain plugins. Attributes of a plugin such as Version, Released etc are delimited by semi-colons and use a colon to separate the name from the value.

For new plugins I find it easiest just to copy/paste an entire[*] section and replace as required. Note that the name within the URL link should be the internal name of the plugin to be used for automating install/uninstall.

For updated plugins it is usually only necessary to change the version, release date and Calibre version required.

For version history to be displayed in the plugin, add a special value of '; History: Yes' to the details for the plugin below. Provided the user's first post contains the text Version History followed by a SPOILER tag containing the history it should be able to be displayed by the Plugin Updater.

For deprecated plugins a special value of "; Deprecated: Yes" should be added to the plugin details. In addition, move the entire list item entry down to the bottom of the forum index page. Change the description to indicate the reason for deprecation and any instructions that should appear in the UI.

After updating this page, you should fire up the plugin updater to ensure it can read it. You can use calibre-debug -g to see which entries are not being parsed correctly if issues occur.
